“Autumn in the Highlands would be brief—a glorious riot of color blazing red across the moors and gleaming every shade of gold in the forests of sheltered glens. Those achingly beautiful images would be painted again and again across the hills and in the shivering waters of the mountain tarns until the harsh winds of winter sent the last quaking leaf to its death on the frozen ground.”
--thoughts of Anne MacKinnon, the heroine from Elizabeth Stuart's HEARTSTORM, one of my Top 10 romances
What a beautiful scene. It took my breath away. Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely beautiful. :)

Carol, you are most welcome. I love the way Stuart describes it as well. Every book she wrote garnered 5 stars from me.
